My melting point is -210.1 degrees C. My boiling point is - 195.8 degrees C. My normal phase is gas. I have 3 isotopes. I'm a nonmetal. I belong to the nitrogen group.
I'm colorless,odorless and tasteless. I'm not visible at room temperature.
I make up 78% of Earth's atmosphere. I only make up 31% of Mars atmosphere.
The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually me in gas form popping bubbles.
The origin of my name comes from the Greek words nitron genes. Meaning forming native soda.
I was discovered by Daniel Rutherford in 1772.
